I never did see my siblings off since I slept most of the twenty sixth in response to all of the hubbub that went on during their stay. The rest of the week was spent on recuperating my body. On the 28th I saw Wynne. The meeting went as usual. She thinks I should see a neurologist though. Peh. I paid the fee for her and my mom and I left. We ate at Acapulco that night for dinner. Saturday was a blur. All I really remember was going out to get groceries and then lying down due to a headache.
Sunday my parents and I left home around ten forty-five to take a trip to see my great aunt. Around twelve thirty or so we picked up my sister and we arrived to our destination around one thirty. My mother’s… second (? … My mom so owes me a family tree still) cousin was there already. All of us sat around the living room, talked and such. My mother’s other cousin came around sometime later to check and do “man’s work” for my great aunt. Eventually, all of us settled in the dining area and snacked on cherry cheesecake. There was more talk and by four we left for home. We dropped my sister off and did not get home until around seven fifteen. I did some chores like laundry and dishes and eventually collapsed onto my bed around eight.
Monday was a rest day. I slept through almost all of it. Some of the reason was due to having headaches – I still wonder if my mom had given me my meds this morning. The other reason was likely just being tired from yesterday. Around noon or so I woke, did chores and such. Near one I finished vacuuming my parents’ room and my dad came home. He and I went out to do some errands. After eating lunch and a few other things I collapsed again and slept until four thirty. I ate dinner and read a bit since I’ve been getting in some books from orders I placed on a gift card from Christmas.
My parents were gone by then. They were at church. Coming home somewhere in the hours of six, it was determined that my mother did not give me my medication that morning. Once that was gotten, I headed to my room to go to sleep again. My head still was out of commission and my body felt like it was in water.
I woke around nine twenty. My parents were asleep. I snacked on cereal and worked on the computer shortly before taking a shower. I felt like my usual self again, much to my relief. My head did not hurt, I felt like I could actually focus on something and I didn’t feel tired-like. Yeay.
Shred popped up for a short time when I was ¼ in a book. He showed me some silly comedic video on YouTube. We chatted briefly and soon he silenced. I read a bit more, put the book down and worked a bit on a detailed drawing I started earlier in December. Since my hand is not too great for drawing long periods anymore, I take many breaks and draw only a little when I do. Still, it is turning out nicely thus far.
Anyway, my dad will be here all New Years day. My mom will likely be working as usual. We have the black-eyed peas and that is the most we seem to do for tradition. My mom’s resolution is to lose weight as usual. My sister surprised me in that her resolution being the same. I mean, dang, she looks just fine. Oh, well.
I don’t know anyone else’s really. Me? Nothing. Why? I am not really the ambitious, goal oriented type. I just want my life to go on as it has been. I seem to be in good health, I’m happy, and hope nothing changes drastically. After all, I don’t believe in forever. I believe in change.
